Trastevere Hidden Gems & Rome Jewish Ghetto Small-Group Tour
5.0(167)RomeFree cancellation
About this activity
Small group walking tour of max 12 people. Discover the hidden gems of Trastevere and the Jewish district. Underground crypts, secrets hiding in plain sight, stories you don't find in the guidebooks. We’ll take a relaxing stroll through the alleyways of Trastevere and discover the hidden gems of this neighborhood. For example, we’ll find a Bernini statue by casually walking inside an empty church. Then we’ll get access from the nuns to the underground crypt and ancient ruins of the church of Santa Cecilia, 5 meters below the street level. We’ll continue to the Tiber island and the Jewish district, where you’ll learn lots of urban legends and local tidbits, that you wouldn’t normally find on a guidebook. As well as learning the “layers” of history of this area of Rome. This experience is for you if you don’t want to confine yourself to the obvious landmarks and want to live a less-crowded and more authentic experience of Rome.

Basilica of Santa Cecilia in Trastevere
This church was built where once lived one of the most famous saints of Rome: Saint Cecilia. Cecilia has a very interesting and dramatic story. She was a tough woman, and you'll learn of her resilience while we explore the many "layers" of this sight (this church is like a "lasagna"). After getting special access by the nuns, we'll be free to explore the underground site where we'll find her ancient apartment.
